Sprayer Use

To use the sprayer, put on respirator and consider using ear plugs.  

1. Turn on fan on booth.
2. Put well mixed glaze into sprayer.
3. Attach sprayer to hose- making sure that the gasket is locked onto the sprayer.  (do not put on at an angle- do not force).
4. Set pressure on compressor to between 50-75.  Turn up or down as needed to get it to where it feels right. Remember to not let the left gage go over 70.  Use the safety ring to release this pressure.  It will be loud.
5. It is a good idea to lay down plastic to make clean up easy and to be able to recycle extra glaze.
6. Do a test spray on the wall of the sprayer before spraying the actual piece.  A lazy Susan is a good idea to keep the piece rotating.  Change the angle of the sprayer to reach top and bottom. Let each layer dry before applying the next to avoid bubbles and drips.
7. Turn off compressor when taking a break and bleep pressure with ring.
8. I recommend being at almost eye level with the piece when doing the sides.
9. Layer colors as needed.
   
   When finished:
10. Turn off compressor. 
11. Turn off fan.  
12. Bleed compressor.  
13. Remove Sprayer.  
14. Empty glaze.  
15. Recycle and glaze on plastic. 
16. Run warm water into sprayer.  
17. Reattach sprayer. 
18. Turn on compressor.  
19. With a clean sponge spray booth in sections and wipe off.  
20. Repeat until clean. 
21. Turn off compressor 
22. Bleed lines completely
23. Wash off Sprayer and put away.
